Women are still underrepresented in the technology sector. Tech Target compiled some stats and trends. Plus, there are some suggestions on how to create a future for women in tech, including: ☑️ Provide STEM education at an early age ☑️ Mentoring ☑️ Keep skills relevant and up to date ☑️ Eliminate bias in the hiring process ☑️ Close the gender pay gap ☑️ Be proactive TDK Technologies is woman-owned and proud of it! https://ow.ly/JmNM50RAgN8 #WomenInTech #WomenInSTEM #WomenInEngineering

Check out this article which discusses the ongoing challenges women face in the tech industry, including education gaps in STEM degrees, underrepresentation in the workforce, racial and ethnic disparities, retention issues, workplace culture problems, pay gaps, and lack of leadership positions. It also highlights the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on women in tech and suggests strategies for improving diversity and inclusion in the industry. https://lnkd.in/eqFchSNp

In the tech sector, women still trail their male counterparts in terms of pay, leadership roles and representation, and although women are an evergrowing part of the tech landscape, pay and opportunity inequalities persist. In this article, learn about some of the largest hurdles for women in tech, and how to create a future for women in the industry. Details: https://bit.ly/3WT8gWT By: David Needle

Some takeaways from this piece: ➡ Women now make up around 42% of STEM graduates but just 27.6% of the technology workforce. ➡ Women in tech associations, conferences, and articles on diversity are nice but slow to boost numbers. What would help? Aggressively incentivizing companies to actively nurture and promote diverse talent. ➡ Jobs in tech will grow from 10 to 33M across Europe by 2035. To reach gender parity, the number of women in tech must grow from 2.7M today to 16.5M million in the next 15 years – a million more women in tech every year. https://lnkd.in/dXkvbfTq?

Numbers don't lie, but they don't tell the whole story either. The underrepresentation of women in data and STEM careers isn't just a statistic; it's a missed opportunity for diversity of thought, innovation, and progress. It's time to break free from these limiting trends and empower women to lead the way in shaping the future of technology and data-driven industries. Let's rewrite the narrative together. 💪🌟 #GenderEquality #STEMEquality #DiversityInTech

The lack of gender diversity in the STEM industry is an ongoing issue – with women still holding less than a fourth (24%) of technology leadership roles. Young girls need role models to look up to, and successful women can inspire them to enter and succeed in this male-dominated industry. Ada Lovelace was one of these role models. As an English mathematician and writer – often referred to as “the first programmer” – she played a crucial role in revolutionising the trajectory of the computing industry. In addition to creating a more gender-balanced tech workforce, improving female representation in STEM is key to closing the ongoing digital skills gap. As businesses continue to accelerate their digital transformation strategies, employers are struggling to fill tech roles. By encouraging more women to enter the STEM industry, the technology industry will expand the talent pipeline, narrow the skills gap and boost innovation and growth. For our Diversity & Inclusion month, let's explore this article where several female leaders in STEM shared their insights on the topic. https://t.ly/9OKt2 #diversity #inclusivity #technology #innovation #STEM #digitalskills #talent #techindustry #digitaltransformation #Aitinitiative #AITGlobal #AcaciaInnovationsTechnology

Why are women still underrepresented in data and STEM careers? The gender gap in technology is real. The 2022 Global Gender Gap Report shows that in the technology industry, only 24% of leadership roles are held by women. In the United States, despite making up nearly half of the US workforce, women are still vastly underrepresented in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) workforce, which also drives many careers in data. Women made gains — from 8% of STEM professionals in 1970 to 35% in 2021 — but men still dominated the field. Men made up 52% of all US workers but 68% of all STEM workers.

While many STEM-based industries have taken great strides to increase work equality, there is still a long way to go before these industries will achieve equal access to opportunities for women of all ages. Courtney Noah, PhD recently shared her thoughts with Technology Networks on how we can break down the barriers and stigmas that keep women from entering or excelling in STEM.
